2016 Domaine Paul Pernot Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Garenne 1er Cru

Light straw-yellow. Aromas of peach and nutmeats are accented by a mineral element. Round, silky and fine-grained, showing considerable ripe citrussy appeal and a faintly malic pear quality, with some stony minerality bringing a touch of austerity. This youthfully reticent, persistent wine displays better shape and grip than the Champ Canet but could still use a bit more thrust.
